Stringfellows Soho has been rebranded as Peter Stringfellows: Angels At The Wardour.
Stringfellows second club (not including the short lived Irish franchise) has had a change of name to Peter Stringfellows: Angels At The Wardour
Stringy posted recorded multi million pound profits last year and has more clubs in the pipeline so things are looking up for the ‘thonged one’!!

Rouge in Brighton opens today, it is part of the Spearmint Rhino chain and offers both burlesque dancing and regular lap dancing.
The Justice Minister of Scotland, Kenny ‘South Park’ MacAskill, announced plans this week to introduce a levy on late night venues in Scotland which would result in late opening pubs, clubs and strip clubs paying for any disruption/or damage caused by late night revellers.
As usual the government lump all late night venues into one convenient bundle no matter how they are regulated or their door policy…Strip clubs always have a stricter door policy than regular clubs and pubs to there is no proven link between strip clubs and noise or crime. It just sounds like another lazy policy from the Scottish Executive and the government, but will go down well with the average housewife and pensioner who dont need another reason to be paranoid about strip clubs and late licenses!!
Since most strip clubs are in city center locations it will be easy for regulators to point the finger, no matter where the problems actually come from! Strip club crowds are always better dressed and usually better behaved that clubs/pub crowds due to the entertainment on show and the increased price of drinks.
The only idea the Labour government had in the last 10 years appeared to be to charge the consumer more ie smoking is bad for your health, will be ban it? no just charge more tax and pocket the difference. Will we raise the age limit for buying fags? not lets raise the tax. If people are addicted you dont deter them with price. Same for drink they raise the tax to levels unheard of elsewhere in the EU, which has not exactly reduced drinking!! So in the instance of late night venues, will we close trouble venues? no just charge anyone with a late licence an extra tax and pocket the difference.
The sensational outcry over 24 hour drinking never really materialised into the lawlessness that the papers and The Mary Whitehouse Brigade promised, but is always a good vote winner with old people and suburbs!!!
I am sure that strip venues will actually have quite good records when it comes to disorder/noise/crime so once again the government have take the easy way out. The Government often forget that pubs/clubs are also businesses and should be encouraged!
If you disagree with strip venues on moral grounds then admit that rather than dressing it up as disorder issues…
The increase in numbers of strip clubs on the mainland UK continues with the adition of Pink Gentlemans club in Leafy Windsor.
